Chaska Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan Evaluation:

Abstract

This project was completed through a partnership between the City of Chaska and the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (https://rcp.umn.edu/). The goal of this project was to develop an evaluation program that establishes baseline data for pedestrian and bicycle usage so the City can track progress over time, assess unmet needs, and make strategic infrastructure investments. City of Chaska project lead Ashley Cauley collaborated with a team of students in Kayla Meyers’ course PA 5311: Program Evaluation to create a pedestrian and bicycle evaluation plan that includes a logic model, design matrix, and various data collection tools, including a community survey and focus group interview protocol. A final student report and PowerPoint presentation slides from the project are available.
